Dinosaurs Seasns 3 And 4

If this is your thing it's great!

Great kid video as long as you are not opposed to baby hitting the Dad.

I have run into few people who are familiar with this vastly under-appreciated television series, but clearly those who have seen it have recognized its unique genius. Once the viewer gets accustomed to actors wearing dinosaur costumes, the facial movements of which are operated remotely by skilled puppeteers, it becomes apparent that this is a brilliant version of a standard sit-com format: somewhat buffoonish, long-suffering everyman father (Earl), somewhat more astute wife/mother (Fran), rebellious teenage Son (Robbie),clueless, materialistic daughter (Charlene) and somewhat malevolent but entertaining Baby. The stunning originality of this series rests on three very strong foundations: the writers, who have built in some of the wittiest social, cultural and political satire ever seen in a TV series; the puppeteers (Volume I includes an excellent feature explaining how it's all done), whose astounding abilities are evident in the astonishing variety of facial expressions they are able to give the dino-characters; and the actors who have to navigate the sets in cumbersome costumes, often without being able to see what they are doing. The astounding synchronization of movement, expression and dialogue make this an unforgettable viewing experience. I have watched few television shows that caused me to laugh aloud regularly - this one never fails. There are numerous priceless moments, as in Season 3's disc two episode "Dirty Dancin', wherein at one point Earl brags to Fran about his mating abilities - the look on Fran's face is worth the price of the whole series - I have watched it again and again. It is a testament to the high art of the puppeteers. My only regret about this series is that it ran only four seasons. This review likewise applies to Volume I of the series.

Fun gift for the grandkids.

I bought this pack along with the Season 1 and 2 pack, so I was able to compare each season and each DVD back-to-back.The case is different in that this one does not have the outer cardboard case. However, the menu inside is the same, and the disc storing is the same. As I said in my other review, my only issue here was with how the discs were secured in the case. They tend to not stay put much; this isn't an issue for me as I put my DVDs in soft-shell cases and store the original casing in a big box, but it was a concern during the shipment.The discs still arrived in perfect condition, and the migration from TV to DVD format was perfect.The content itself is great. Dinosaurs continues to address some major, real problems (and occassionally non-existent ones) with good delivery. These season also contain the faux documentary episodes, which I loathed to no end, but did help to fill in the blank spots in the writers' heads.The series finale is effective in drawing-in even the adult viewers with the final moments of the episode, and teach us about the dilemma of short-sighted society:"Everyone's buying... WeSaySo Heaters and WeSaySo blankets.... This is the best 3rd Quarter in history!""Sir, I'm afraid this might be the last 3rd Quarter in history.""That's a 4th Quarter problem; we'll blow it up when we get to that point. Right now, my only problem is figuring out what to do with all this money!"Well, I knew what to do with my money; I bought the set and wasn't disappointed at all. As a long-time fan, or just enjoying some browsing interest, you will not be disappointed either.

Decent price, great show. Watched as a kid, now I'm all grown up. Tee hee

Wow, I'd forgotten just how hilarious this show truly was during the original run way back when. The story lines are truly timeless in my opinion, which makes them even funnier today. We're having a really hard time NOT binge watching the entire series... we're trying to save them and only watch an episode or two per day, but it isn't easy once you start a disc!This show had to be a nightmare to pull off, considering there are 2 to 3 different acting credits per character. It takes a lot, with all the costuming, voice work, and mechanical aspects involved to truly bring these creatures to life.You gotta love it!!! Even if you're not da mama!Very well done young Henson, very well done indeed.Packaging wise, this is very high quality. No paper sleeves to scratch the dvd's, or inconvienient stacked spindles here... its individuals that hold each disc securely to itself and keep it protected.

Got this for my parents they loved it

Used to watch this show with my kids years ago, just a nostalgic purchase really.

love this show

Ho scelto questo dvd che stavo cercando da moltissimo tempo e finalmente trovo presso questo venditore.Confesso che ero perplessa, purtroppo mi viene istintivo avere dei dubbi sulla affidabilità di chi non conosco....La mia esperienza è stata splendida e oltre ogni aspettativa vorrei elogiare il venditore e la sua cura per il cliente e devozione al proprio lavoro.Appena effettuato l’ordine mi ha contattata via email nella mia lingua per farmi notare che avevo appena acquistato un dvd americano e quindi necessitavo di un lettore capace di leggerlo, mi chiedeva conferma della mia scelta prima di processare l’ordine.Questa cura assolutamente non dovuta mi ha positivamente colpita, e per fortuna ho scoperto di avere il lettore idoneo ed ho potuto confermare con estremo piacere il mio ordine.Il pacchetto è arrivato nei tempi stabiliti, in perfette condizioni, ed aggiungo con una precisione e delicatezza come se l’avessi fatto io: imballo accurato, indirizzo scritto bene, insomma bello.Ringrazio pubblicamente, senza indugi ripeterei la mia esperienza.

Excelente show, lástima que solo esta en ingles y no español latino

恐竜家族、大好きです！時を超える、秀作・傑作ぞろいのラインナップ。DVDでまた見ることができて、とっても嬉しいです！日本語吹き替え版も出して欲しいな〜。（海外DVDは、一般の日本のDVDプレーヤーでは見られないと思うので、注意★）
